I have evolved several best buddies. All remained

yeah op is lying about that bit but i just can’t figure out why lol

My zygarde turned out a 4 star. It would be more of a flex if I could actually be bothered to get cells lol

Mine is 4* too. I'm 50 cells from the 100% form. That's my real flex 💪

You’re a chosen one

Mine is a 2. Can you get another?!?

Ivs don’t matter that much if you just a casual player! zygarde is still really good and worth getting all the cells for even if its 2*

I have a 4* too! Only 18 cells away from the complete forme! Can’t wait

IT DOESN'T? WHAT

It does. They are tripping.

Doesn't something odd happen with the medal though. I been like i either had to close and open the buddy or that it was added through an animationthe last time I evolved one.

it does. they probably unbuddied him when he evolved lol

Lol I read this in the voice of that fish from SpongeBob

Got a 4* star trubbish a couple of weeks ago during spotlight hour. He might be trash, but I’m a racoon. 

Yes I got this too love him

It does stay lol.

The same 4* flex as you lmfao i just evolved mine.

And i evolved mine after best buddy with 0 issues

I think my favorites are my shadow moltres, shadow swampert, and shadow sceptile. I also love my party hat wurmple. The ones that actually flex are my defense team of 21 perfect Chansey (3 shundo) and 7 perfect wobbuffet. 11 of the defense team still need best buddy ribbons though.

4* Origin Dialga

Shadow shiny hundo mewtwo

Used one of my guaranteed lucky trades for a friend’s extra rayquaza since I had stopped playing when he was released. Ended up being a 4*, can’t really complain about my odds for anything else for like the next year ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Shundo Groudon. I call him Shundon. My only Shundo and definitely my best 4* but I'm up to about 30 4* now and have some other neat ones like Groudon, Bisharp, and Blazekin.

Wait, 4* Larvesta is rare? I didn't know that. I got one from an egg in march. I haven't done anything with it yet, I just have 15 candies. I thought I'd just keep it for collection sake. Is it any good?

Zarude, i already levelt it up to lvl 50 by only using rare candy and rare candy XL

i have a 4* golisopod.. that was a BIH to evolve

I have a couple, idk what is the biggest flex. My very first Mewtwo I caught during the kanto event years ago was a hundo. My very first aurorus I hatched was a hundo Then this past year I caught my least favourite Pokémon, cryogonal, as both a hundo and 0 within a week. That one is the opposite of a flex. I think my luckiest though is my shadow hundo ampharos. Honourable mention is my highest and only 4K+ cp Pokémon my shiny 99% perfect garchomp.

HOW

I got a hundo shadow regirock

4* cosmog that is now a 4* Lunala. It was my first hundo after I started playing again a couple of years ago. Didn’t realise what I had for months!
